craving High-Casual HP 1x1 (F inside)

Hello fellow Roleplayers! I'm Rhapsody, or Rhap if you'd like, a 21-year-old college student searching for some good partners with similar interests. I am German, therefore not a native english speaker, but I am majoring in English Studies, so I'm confident in both my grammar and spelling.

I've been RP-ing for roughly six years now and know pretty well what I'm looking for in a partner. Please be:

- above the age of 18 and comfortable with at least the implication of mature scenes (I don't mind fading to black if things get more explicit)
- willing to write a minimum of two well-written paragraphs per post
- capable of proper grammar and spelling
- reasonably literate
- interested in developing the story and making up twists, here and there, with me
- unafraid to point out any mistakes, whether syntactical or with regard to contents (I'd be thankful, actually, since I'm always seeking to improve myself)
- able to post every other day. I know myself, that it just doesn't work sometimes, for whatever reasons, but don't just leave me to wait for a reply if you know you won't make it. Just tell me if you can't, I do not mind it.
- alright with playing a MALE character. I am female, therefore I generally prefer to take that role in RP's as well

That should be gist of it.
I do not expect you to be anything I'm not, I might add.

I should probably add that I do live in Germany as well, meaning I'm in the CET (Central European Time) time zone. It's UTC/GMT+1h. In my experience, that can turn out to be a little tricky when it comes to posting, especially when we're getting on well. But don't despair! I, quite irresponsibly I guess, pull almost-all-nighters all the time, no matter my schedule ^.^

So, to finally get to the point of this thread:

I am very much craving a RP set ing the world of J. K. Rowling's 'Harry Potter'
I prefer to make up my own character's, so I'd like this to be OCxOC. But I do not mind if your character resembles one in the books or is somehow related to one, as long as it is not actually a canon one.
Last but not least I'd like to say, that while I'm a sucker for romance, I value an actual plot, even if it's slow-moving and we loose sight of it from time to time. I don't actually have anything in particular in mind here, I'd love to make something up with you before we start in earnest. And since this is set in Hogwarts, the possibilities are endless :3

If you're interested, please PM me or comment or whatever, I will answer :)
(btw, I also prefer using PM for 1x1 RP's, I find they are easier to keep an eye on)

The Original Sin: A Harry Potter RP

I googled it xD

The Original Sin: A Harry Potter RP

Lauren watched the entire scene with more amusement than shock or surprise. In a school full of mostly immature wizards, it wasn't exactly unusual for crazy things to happen, though she had to admit she had never heard about someone entering the Great Hall on the back of a hippogryph. But then again those weren't students quarreling, but teaching assistants, so they might just be on a different level with their possibilities. That also meant though, that there was no real need to worry since they would surely know the limits. And it was quite the entertainment for the first years, Lauren observed as she let her eyes wander a little. They were either really shocked or really fascinated by the whole thing.
Lauren's eyes were caught by something zipping around by the candles hanging in the top half of the hall, illuminating the room. It paused, and she could see it was animated key the girl had been chasing. It's hummingbird wings were flapping so fast you could barely make out more than a shape as it moved on, dipping lower towards the students, dodging hands trying to catch it from time to time as it made its rounds through the hall. Lauren watched. She was still easily fascinated by the incredible things magic could do, especially when she had just gotten back from home. Her siblings being much younger than her, her parents had decided that it was better not to tell them about Lauren being a witch and hogwarts not exactly being a normal school either. So magic was pretty much forbidden at her home, especially in front of the kids, which hadn't mattered until she had turned eighteen three months ago anyway.
In the next second the winged key moved past her, so closely that she felt like the the wing's feathers had actually touched her cheek. She wondered if it could be caught if you tried an 'Aresto Momentum' spell on it. But she wasn't about to try, because you had to be bloody fast if you actually wanted the spell to hit this target, and while she was pretty good at Charms, she wasn't that fast.

Lauren watched as the ceremony proceeded from the her place at the Hufflepuff table, where she'd sat down after the choir had finished its performance at the very beginning of the evening. She let her eyes wander down the table, smiling when she met the eyes of fellow students she recognized, then looked at the front to watch the sorting ceremony, like most others. As usual, the other three houses seemed to be having a bit of a battle going on about the first years that joined them. Hufflepuff was always a little different there. They welcomed anyone, and so far, Lauren had observed that the children that joined them were usually always happy with that choice. The sorting process was a bit of a mystery, but the hat was always right in the end, no matter how the student himself was thinking of the choice at first.
She looked down at the table to grab her drink and took a few sips, her mind wandering off to what her timetable would look like, what classes she'd have this year. The headmaster had mentioned two newly introduced ones. It sounded interesting, but still, she was hoping it not to be too much extra work, since she already had plenty of that as it was. Which reminded her that she still hadn't gotten around to going through her Herbology notes from the end of the year before. Things had gotten pretty crazy at the end and she had forgotten to bring them home with her. She'd have to make sure to do that in the next couple weeks, when classes were only just starting and she would still have enough time for that.

[So, I'm opting for a written description because I just can't find a pic I'm satisfied with ^.^ And I hope it's okay that the Bio and Personality aren't too detailed, I like to have room for them to develop during the RP.
Feel free to tell me if something doesn't fit or sound right ;)]

Lauren Maroney

Name: Lauren Maria Maroney
Age/Year: 18/ seventh year
Gender: Female
Appearance: Lauren is about 5'6", slender in build and has light olive skin, showing her father's italian heritage mixed with her mother's purely british one. She has long, dark brown hair that falls in waves over her shoulders and halfway down her back. She is kind of pretty but would only be average if not for the exotic look of her features working in her favour there, especially because of her big, light brown eyes and long dark eye-lashes. Matching her personality, she has a mature look to her and is usually in control of her facial expressions.
Blood purity: Muggle-born
House: Hufflepuff
Short Bio: Lauren was born and raised in a muggle household. Neither her parents, nor her three younger siblings were or turned out to be wizards, so of course it was hard for her to adapt to Hogwarts at first. However, due to her personality it didn't take her long to find friends who explained this new world to her and told her everything she needed to know. It took her years to get used to changing back and forth between those two so very different worlds and she pretty much constantly misses one of them, even now.
Lauren has been a serious student from the start, who works hard for her good grades. The only thing she easily excells at his Herbology, most likely, because it had been her favourite from the very first time she stepped a foot into the greenhouses and she's just really interested in it. Now, in her last year, she looks back at her years with a lot of fond memories, and has yet to get into any real trouble, though with everything that has been happening in the school, she fears that will change this year. She is studying hard to master the N.E.W.T.'s coming up, because she is aspiring to become a healer.
Likes: Herbology, Experiments, Coffee
Dislikes: Surprises, Intolerance, Moving Stairways
Personality: Lauren appears to be mature cause she is quiet and to keep calm in stressful situations and prefers to think before she acts. She is very patient and caring, probably due to looking after her three younger siblings whenever she is at home. She dislikes confrontations, but that doesn't mean she is shy or weak, she just can't stand people being unreasonable and hot-headed. Lauren is very fond of her friends and in return well-liked, and though not quick to judge, she is not quick to truly trust someone either. You wouldn't expect it, but she has quite the dark sense of humour and can be rather sarcastic and pessimistic if she's in a bad mood.
Wand wood: Chestnut
Wand Core: (tbd by GM Wand Cores)
Patronus Form: Otter
Interesting Facts: - She is kind of directionally challenged and therefore constantly getting confused by the moving stairways. It had gotten a lot better, but it still happens to her to be late to class because she got a little lost along the way. She prefers walking there with at least one other person, preferably more.
- She has been singing in the school's choir since her third year.
- The only one calling her by her second name is her father, other than her family barely anyone knows she even has one.
- When she was young she wanted to become a doctor, like her father.

[I might make a few changes later, should be minor ones, but I'll make sure to point them out if I do]
